Just curious if there are people out there who wouldn't wear a PM watch at all and why

eteokles · 27 January 2019, 12:29 AM

I wouldn't wear a watch with yellow or rose gold - just not for me. I might wear a white gold or platinum watch, but I doubt I'd be willing to spend the money to acquire one.

Once you wear a Platinum Rolex, it is tough to go back to anything else.

Jeez Mr Steel

brandrea · 27 January 2019, 12:33 AM

I’d definitely wear one, but so far I’ve just chose not to.

SS fits my style better at the moment, and if I’m honest, I have difficulty justifying the added cost of PM

HogwldFLTR · 27 January 2019, 12:35 AM

I must admit to liking Pt better than SS, fwiw. I think most's objection to Pt is price. WG less so, pricewise. Not as big a fan of YG however!!!!

Would YOU wear gold or platinum over steel IF.....They were all the same exact price???

Marcjvr · 27 January 2019, 12:39 AM

I would love to but just find them too ostentatious. Prefer the more humble stainless steel versions

JayHantz · 27 January 2019, 12:40 AM

I definitely would. I think it depends on the whole "look" of the watch to whether I would have it in SS or a PM variant.

liu_watch · 27 January 2019, 12:45 AM

I wear wg watches (non-rolex), not yellow or rose gold, primarily because I do not want to give a hint that it is a luxury watch.

For a dressier watch I prefer wg or platinum. For sports models - steel, gold or plat is just too heavy, and I can’t bang it around.

GolfPunk · 27 January 2019, 12:47 AM

I wear my White Gold Daytona all day every day, I have no interest in steel watches now.

OcdRob · 27 January 2019, 12:51 AM

I would love to wear a pm watch, I just cant afford them.

maxbelg · 27 January 2019, 12:55 AM

I wouldn't wear PM personally. I'm not into conspicuous consumption and the steel Rolex models are already more expensive than what I'd like to show on my wrist, but I love them too much not to wear them....Furthermore I like steel because it's tougher than PM.....

I don't mind others wearing PM though! It's fun to see great PM watches on other peoples wrists.

Chadridv · 27 January 2019, 01:01 AM

i believe some religious sects won't allow for it.

I’m my experience this is not true. I’ve had several white Gold and several steel watches, there is no difference in durability.

tanask211 · 27 January 2019, 01:04 AM

I will like to get a TT watch to up my collection. May a YG or RG will be too much for me.

Not worth the extra cost, for me.

Not a fan of any precious metal watches even less of anything with diamonds just a plain SS guy.

Speed · 27 January 2019, 01:10 AM

I’d wear white gold or platinum...

For Rolex I wouldn’t mind a WG Daytona, or a vintage Day Date - silver stick dial.

For other brands? A platinum A. Lange & Sohne would be nice.

Except SS watches have all the extra costs!

singe89 · 27 January 2019, 01:12 AM

I like all metals but prefer PM over SS. I wear Pt, WG or SS WAY more often than RG. I like how the white PMs are under the radar but like the additional weight.

1. Pt
2. WG
3. SS
4. RG
5. YG

Noak · 27 January 2019, 01:18 AM

YG/RG are too ostentatious, especially at work and attracts unnecessary attention.

That’s why besides SS, I will wearing watches in WG,Pt, Ti and in rare cases, TT.

Not all PM.

Just YG. Will wait till i turn 50.

Case61 · 27 January 2019, 01:27 AM

I love the size and classiness of my vintage 1803, and the look, weight, and feel of my 509. And I still like SS.

Rolexlover123 · 27 January 2019, 01:36 AM

I love PMs. I don't wear any jewelry, so a Platinum wedding band and gold watches is my outlet for dressing it up. I also prefer the weight of a gold watch. I aspire to get a Platinum one day, but that hurts the wallet.....one day.

I would love to wear a PM. Unfortunately it's my bank account that refuses to let me wear one!

I'm not sure about that, my dad had a Rolex with a smooth gold bezel that was ridiculously covered in scratches.

For me, PMs are too blingy, YMMV.

PM scratches the same as SS.

White Gold isn’t blingy at all.

rolexguynfl · 27 January 2019, 01:50 AM

Not sure YG is for me but...
Give me one of these and I'll gladly wear it!!
